Product Overview

This is the first step of the traditional wet shave: a few drops of oil before the lather. GROOM’s formulation of vegetable oils creates an extra layer of protection between the blade and the skin, so the razor glides evenly instead of dragging.

The base reads like a salad of proper oils: grapeseed, sunflower, jojoba, hemp seed and soybean, scented with the house pine, sage and juniper. GROOM positions it squarely at sensitive skin, and recommends it under both its soap and its cream. 30 ml.

What This Oil Does

Razor burn is friction. A lather cushions the blade, but on sensitive skin it is often not enough. A pre-shave oil puts a thin film of fat directly on the skin first, and the lather sits on top of it, so the blade meets oil before it can meet skin.

GROOM states the result plainly: the skin is left less irritated, which means more comfort. It is the product GROOM itself points sensitive-skinned customers to before its soap, cream and gel.

Who This Is Best For

How To Use It

Massage a few drops into damp skin before applying the lather, then shave as usual. The oil stays on the skin under the lather rather than mixing into it.

A little goes a long way: 30 ml is a few drops per shave, not a palmful.

Care and Storage

Close the bottle after use and keep it somewhere cool and out of direct sun.
